Chapter 169: An Unexpected Conversation [Bonus]

Anna sighed, rubbing her eyes as she sat down across from him. "Yeah..." she muttered, clearly exhausted.

She glanced at what Klaus was drinking and, without hesitation, poured herself a glass of the same. Klaus raised an eyebrow as he watched her gulp down the juice in one go.

"You're not worried about the trial tomorrow, are you?" Klaus asked in a sarcastic tone, trying to lighten the mood. But Anna didn't smile. Instead, she looked at him with a seriousness that made him pause.

"Klaus, do you think I can make it into the top ten?" she asked, her voice steady but filled with uncertainty.

Klaus took a slow sip from his drink, then replied, "Of course, Anna. You can easily make it. Just don't overthink it."

His words seemed to lift some of the weight from her shoulders, but they didn't erase the doubt from her eyes.
